Abstract

In this study, we developed a simple high-throughput and cost-effective method for monitoring toxic metal ion in an environmental aqueous sample. Mercury ion determination with Sequential Injection Analysis system (SIAs) coupled with the electrochemical detection on the modified screen-printed carbon working electrode (SPCE) is an alternative green analysis of mercury ion. The gold film was used as the modified material for improved mercury ion analysis in the automated system without memory effect on the electrode. Mercury oxidation signal was found at the potential of 0.7 V in 0.1 M HNO₃ and 1.0 M HCl with the concentration low to 0.25 ± 0.18 mg×L^-1. Online sample preparation and separation will study in the further experiment.
